		fty66gg on Oct 25, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bill Gates on Windows Usability (2003) You seem to be assuming that behavior is a daily occurrence for most users? End users are not updating dependencies or even installing that much new software on a weekly basis, let alone daily. Also a lot of software wants to reboot for no reason other than “just to be sure”. That’s hardly a Windows issue when a random developer includes behavior that isn’t needed.

None of the rebooting or installing I’m talking about was new or third party software.

Just whatever the hell they call windows update now.
